Pastor Chris Okotie Gets Himself Another Young Damsel (LOOK)

It seems Pastor Chris Okotie is set to give marriage another try, and in his usual style the handsome preacher has found love in another beautiful but much younger damsel, who is based in Lagos.

Sources say her name is Delphine but she is not a member of his church. She worships in "a popular church here in Lagos" and it appears Pastor Okotie just bought her a car as special gift. Or did he give her the car he collected back from his ex-wife, Stephanie Henshaw?

Keshi, who led Nigeria to her third Africa Cup of Nations title in South Africa, has yet to receive any money from the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) for the past five months.

Responding to the issue, Musa Amadu, the NFF Secretary General, said that there was no need for an alarm as the situation was under control.

“Between the federation and the coaching crew, we don’t have a problem. Obligations to the coaching crew are always settled, and we have the understanding of the coaching crew in this regard.
“We’ve been working together with Stephen Keshi since November 2011 and he knows the peculiar situation [financial problems] of how things are with the federation.

“We try as much as possible to pay our obligations, likewise the coach, and we’ve had a very good working relationship.

“I know the coach will not bring to the fore any such matters,” he added.

Keshi has indeed made no official complaint to that effect.

According to the report, the NFF also owes assistant coach, Daniel Amokachi and goalkeeper trainer, Ike Shorunmu, and have promised to pay, although the Federation said they will have to be patient.

Big Brother: Seven housemates in eviction battle

Seven housemates find themselves
in the eviction firing line this week after
Monday night's Big Brother: The Chase
nomination show.
For some, it's a new experience, while for
others, some things never seem to change!
Angelo , Fatima, Bimp & Cleo all make their
first appearance on the chopping block this
week, while serial nominee Pokello follows
her countryman Hakeem and Nando onto
the list yet again.
In the Ruby house, Fatima picked up 5
nominations – from Sulu, Feza, Oneal, Angelo
and Annabel, who all just can't seem to
figure her out. Sulu said she had been
giving the majority of housemates "the cold
shoulder" while Feza told Big Brother that
the Malawian was "too tense" and
"negative". Head of House Elikem picked up
3 nominations, from Annabel, Oneal and
Feza.On Sunday 30 June, Maria from Namibia and
Bolt from Sierra Leone were evicted from
the Big Brother house. Big Brother The
Chase
Natasha gets a welcome respite from the
chopping block this week, having only
picked up two nominations, the same
number as Annabel, Feza and Oneal
Things are heating up for Pokello in the
Diamond house, as she received 4
nominations from her housemates. Bimp,
Beverly, Cleo and Nando all nominated her,
with the undercurrent seemingly that she's
a strong contender.
Bimp and Cleo are first-timers on the
nomination list, with three nods apiece.
Nando, who picked up 3 nominations
himself, helped Selly find her way onto the
nomination list – despite their close
relationship.
With the nominations announced, it was
time for the respective Heads of House to
make their 'save & replace' decisions. Ruby
HoH Elikem had a fairly straightforward
decision, in that he had to remove himself
from danger. His replacement choice proved
a bit trickier though, as the Ghanaian first
named Oneal, before changing his mind and
settling on Angelo as his replacement.
Diamond Head of House Melvin had a tough
time in the Diary Room. The Nigerian chose
to save Selly and replace her with Hakeem
during an emotional session with Big
Brother.
Now it's the viewers' chance to vote, vote,
vote!

STF killed more than 100 bandits in Langtang – Commander

The Special Task Force (STF),
maintaining the peace in Plateau killed
"more than 100'' of the bandits that
attacked Lantang villages last week,
according to its Commander, Brig. Gen.
Henry Ayoola.
"The latest figure of the attackers that fell to
our fire works in the counter gun duel is
more than 100. We really devastated them
because we circled them up from various
angles. They have never been so hit.
"STF troops deployed to Magama had first
engaged them before they were later
supported by additional troops that came
from Shndam,'' Ayoola told reporters in Jos
on Wednesday.
Other villages hit by the attackers included
Bolgong and Karkashi.
Ayoola said that two of the attackers were
injured and had been arrested and handed
over to the State Security Services.
He said that many of the corpses had
disappeared because the assailants were
always quick to evacuate their dead ones.
"We found that most of the attackers were
not even Nigerians; also, many of them
wore talismans and all manners of things
over their bodies,'' he added.
Ayoola wondered what had happened to
some Nigerians' sense of patriotism if they
could bring fighters from outside the nation
to kill their fellow compatriots.
The Commander, however, disputed reports
attributed to a politician, which claimed that
70 villagers had been killed by the invaders.
"The official is not in a position to confirm
the number of casualties. You remember the
council chairman had said that 32 people
were confirmed killed. You also remember
that we confirmed that only 20 villagers
were killed.
"After the weekend, there has not been any
any new attack so where is the additional
number of casualties coming from?'' he
asked.
Ayoola expressed satisfaction that calm had
returned to the area, and declared that all
other alarms were false as the STF men
were on ground to tackle any situation.
On the contrasting figure of casualties
between the Plateau Police Command and
the STF, Ayoola expressed surprise that the
police was releasing casualty figures in a
crisis that was not a police issue.
"The Langtang violence was not a police
issue. The Plateau police command was not
involved in the counter operation.
"The STF, you should remember, was
specially established to tackle the Plateau
violence because it was beyond the scope
of the conventional security agencies in the
state.
"It (STF) is not a statutory body. It is a
circumstantial creation to take care of a
particular situation, so it is the only body
involved in the operations and should be
the only source for confirming the real
situation on ground,'' he said.
Ayoola, however cautioned against the
persistent rustling of cows, and vowed to
deal with anyone caught in that act. (NAN)

Fake Wizkid nabbed

E.M.E Record released a statement revealing
that Wizkid's imposter is now in police
custody.
Excerpts from the statement reads…"An EME impostor is currently in police
custody. He was handed over to the police
by his latest victim- Muyiwa.
"Impersonating artists and record labels is
apparently the new 419. This is not a
unique problem to EME or it's acts, but a
serious challenge to most major labels/
artists as well as the fans and event
organizers. We've done the best we can to
streamline our processes so that anyone,
anywhere can contact us at
Bookings@empirematesentertainment.com
and know that they have right
information."
"It saddens us to know that crooks still try
to take advantage of our fans and
supporters but we are doing all we can to
put the right info out and we hope that
everyone takes note, so as not to fall into
their traps."
On Wednesday afternoon, June 19, Wizkid
visited the Zone 2 command Onikan of the
Nigerian Police force for another case
involving an imposter who collected
N500,000 from some University of Lagos
students.
Wizkid was invited alongside his manager
Godwin Tom for questioning by the police
after he was accused of collecting money
and then failing to appear at UNILAG's
Concert of Life gig which took place at the
institution's Sports Centre on May 21st. He
was at the station for a few hours and was
only allowed to leave after he'd written a
statement and bailed by his lawyer.
EME says the police will continue to
apprehend other imposters.
